James Cameron and the cast of Avatar: The Way of Water hit up London, Tokyo, and South Korea over the last week. However, the director has to pull out of tonight’s Hollywood premiere because he tested positive for COVID-19, according to Variety.
Cameron, 68. is not the only director to contract COVID-19 recently. Steven Spielberg missed the Gotham Awards on November 28th because he had coronavirus. He is better and back doing press for The Fablemans.
The second Avatar movie opens nationwide this weekend.
UPDATE: James Cameron spoke with Deadline. “I am in LA, just back from Tokyo, and I managed to pick up Covid on the plane, so I’m isolated and can’t go to my own premiere tonight,” the director said. “The number of people I’ve told over the years, ‘ah, we’ll catch up and I’ll see you at the premiere…well, I guess not. Man proposes, and God disposes.”
Oh well, there is always the next Avatar movie.
